//maybe they meet up in like…idk… a cafe or bar or something?

"Someone close to me once said something along those lines," the look in her eyes hardened a bit, "Then again they did give me the name Mad-e-lyn. So in the end they knew I was destined for insanity, complete and utterly unredeemable madness." She new this person, this stranger, was trying to boost her confidence, but how many times had those word lied to her, insanity might only be a label, but what ever it was be it madness or brilliance still cut her off from other people, hell it cut her off from her own time line. Something like this did not deserve to be praised.

Oliver opened his mouth to respond to Madelyn, tell her that she wasn't crazy, that she was a good person, but he decided against it. He wasn't good with words and he doubted that he could make her feel better. Anyway, most people were deemed crazy in Wonderland. Oliver didn't exactly fit under that label, or Quinn either, but he had his own share of other things.

//maybe they meet up in like…idk… a cafe or bar or something?

(Library?)

//that works, they could go there looking for answers

//who’s gonna start

//I could but idk how to. Are they going there to meet up because they made a plan or is it just going to be fate?

Madelyn looked around the group not entirely sure what how many other them were here missing parents or how many had just found their way here, but what was mostly on Madelyn's mind was was the cold and her clothes or lack there of. "To be honest i'm not sure how much more we can get done here so why not meat at Babel?" She suggested wanting at the very lest to split of from the group long enough to get a change of clothes.

(Disclaimer; I have not read the library of babel, but a quick discerption makes me think it's the kind of place that would exist in this kind of world. This my take on the setting and is not 100% accurate to the original story. It contains all knowledge and more (indecipherable texts that are unusable) it's seemingly endless almost it's own plane of existence. For some reason all the rooms are hexagonal and you'll need to use thread tied to the door to navigate the library with out getting lost.) ( Dose that sound cool?)

(Edit: the library contains all the books that have and ever will be written and most believe there is a biography for every person who how has or has yet to live some were on it's selfs. (So that could be fun) Also a bit more research has also alerted me to the probably that the endless library, aside from the Librarians, may also have a few crazy people and a cult living there (the two are not mutually exclusive.))

"Sure, why not? I've got nothing better to do with my time." Theta shrugged. "Does anyone have any thread I can borrow? I haven't been there in a while."

(Sorry that was a large info drop.)

(Nah it’s fine, it sounds really cool!! :D)

(I want to go there)
Althea nodded "meet back there in around one hour?" She asked

“Sounds good.”

Althea nodded and disappeared in a grey cloud of smoke, appearing st her castle

Theta was about to wade back into the pond, but then she looked back at the corpses on the ground. "… Can someone give me a ride? Seriously, I'm soaking wet and it's freezing."

"We can use the rabbit holes, right Oli?" Quinn piqued, nodding towards Theta as if to say that they could give her a lift. The holes were a little cramped and dark, though there was enough of space for a few people and some lighting in odd places on the walls.

Theta shuddered slightly. "Sounds… interesting." I'm not a huge fan of small and dark places, but they're being nice enough to offer me a ride. At least it's better than that time with the Krampus.

Madelyn nodded as everyone was leaving and went her own way knowing very well that if she can't find home, home will find her.

Althea reappeared in her room and Smoke ran up to her. The young dragon had been restless ever since her mother had disappeared. Smoke climbed up her leg and lay across her shoulders. She sighed and went into her personal library and started to look for her bag, she was planning in sign int out a few books on location spells.

Madelyn opened the door to her home sighing as she moved through the house that was normally so filled with life. The half finished project that sat on his work bench and the usual ever present smell of tea was missing from the air reminded her that this is just a house and home is with her father. He was the only person that could understand her condition because he had it himself. She pushed the door to her room open and closed it behind her locking herself away from the empty house. She pinned her long hair in to the braid on the top of her head. She went to the water basin then took a cloth from it to wipe away the makeup not just on her face, but also what had been used to hide any of her scars that would have been hidden by her normal attire. She began to shed the jester costume and replacing it with slacks and a bright red dress shirt. She started to put the holster for her shears back on when her mind started to wander. I wonder, she thought as she started to tie her tie, what it's like not to care. She sat on her bed and began putting on her shoes when she saw a tarot card sitting on the floor with her discarded clothes. She turned it over, The Moon, what the hell does this mean? She slipped on her suit jacket and put both The World and The Moon in her pocket before pulling a hat off the wall straining the red bow before putting it on her head. She slowly began the preparations for entering the library not only did she get her father's magic thread and even began to fill a bag with food and water just in case. She said good bye to the empty house as she donned a long black traveling coat and locked the door behind her before walking down the path. As she moved though the trees she would have looked like a spirt if it were not for the red ribbons following behind her, adding a small amount of color to the other wise ghostly image.

Madelyn arrived at the 'doors' of the library feeling a touch more confidant and a lot warmer than before. She stared at the large ornate doors that locked the library away from the rest of the universe. She sat calmly on the steps leading up to the waiting for the others this is not the type of place you enter alone. She took her hat off and rested it on her knee as she adjusted the matching bow in her hair. It might seem like a lot of work, She thought to her self wile holding the hat in her hands checking the stitching. But appearances are important.

(Trying to keep this from dyeing)

Althea appeared inside the library in a dramatic grey cloud. She walked out of the smoke and dusted her outfit. She had changed out of her dress and into casual attire. She had brought a small pocket sized spellbook with her just in case she need to find a specific spell.

Orion slammed the cover shut of the book and groaned, what was the point in coming to a library filled with every book ever created, if the answers weren't there. He sighed "maybe I'm not looking hard enough?" he thought to himself. He put the book back and walked out of that aisle, seeing a girl with a large hat on her knee.

Madelyn's foot started to tap on the stone floor as time went on deciding to prep to entering the library she took out the thread and began to unwind a little and look around the room for an anchor. She could see anchors used by others the thread was stilled tied around them. Dozens of different colors extended into the depths. sadly most were laying limp on the floor a sure sign the owners were lost in the endless rooms.She decide on one of the stone columns near the doors as she started to get up she felt the pair of eyes watching her.

Orion whispered a silent command and a small burst of almost invisible light went to investigate the girl

Madelyn closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Is someone there?" She asked quiet enough so the sound could not exit this first room. Not certain if she wanted conformation of her paranoia.

Orion stepped out from behind the shelf a d walked forward "h-hey, I'm O-orion." He stuttered

"You don't look like the famed hunter," Madelyn said moving over to the pillar and began to tie herself to it. She unbuttoned both coats and attached he spool of thread to herself before turning to face the boy again.

Thanatos entered the library, dressed in an expensive looking black suit with a white undershirt and blood red tie, his hair in an untidy mess atop his head and a thick black book with a skull engraved in the cover in his left hand. Walking further in he glanced around, noticing Madelyn and making his way towards her, a reassured smile upon his face.
